This is how to disable the new “AI” chatbot in #Firefox:

• type about:config into the awesome bar
• skip the warning for first time modders
• locate the browser.ml.chat.enabled setting and set it to false

In the #Librewolf fork, a thoughtful person has already done this for you.

(HT to @kuketzblog for the hint!)

Host Europe's FAQ can be summarized as follows: Go to hell!

I don't want my email accounts to be migrated to Microsoft 365? What can I do?

If you do not want your email accounts to be migrated to Microsoft 365, proceed as follows.

Situation 1: You do not want email migration to Microsoft 365, but you do want hosting migration to cPanel

• Please contact support via a KIS support request.
  
• However, a solution must be found for your email accounts. You can move your emails to another solution at Host Europe or to an external provider by yourself.

Situation 2: You do not want either the email migration to Microsoft 365 or the hosting migration to cPanel

• To avoid being migrated, cancel your package. We will then exclude your package from the migrations.
• You can easily cancel your contract in the KIS: Product Admin – Contract Overview

Codeberg Pages seems to be in trouble: https://status.codeberg.eu/status/codeberg

Maybe another DDoS attack?

HostEurope, a formerly European web and e-mail hosting provider acquired by GoDaddy in 2016, just informed its customers that it will move their IMAP folders and everything e-mail to Microsoft's MS365 offer.

This move does not only incur additional fees for many customers – it also raises privacy concerns.

We recommend you empty all of your IMAP folders now and move your e-mail (domains) to one of the trustworthy e-mail services listed here: https://switching.software/replace/gmail/

Trademarks used by HostEurope Group include 123-reg, Webfusion, Heart Internet, BrandFortress, Host Europe, Domainbox, Domainmonster, Domainfactory, DonHost, Sign-Up.to, velia.net and RedCoruna. Their users might also be affected.

PS: HostEurope has published the following FAQ:

Finally, a new revision of https://switching.software has appeared, incorporating lots of hints we received via our issue tracker.

What's more important: We finally got Woodpecker CI working with Codeberg Pages – which means that from now on, all changes to the main branch will appear on the website immediately. We no longer need to run Hugo on a local computer.

tl;dr: Changes will become visible more quickly now.
